Bolton have gone ahead against the Reds twice, but have no had Davis sent off.

Will do well to hold on from here. Liverpool not looking anything like the side they were last year.

Bullet from Gerrard into the crossbar.

    Spurs are peppering the goal, thanks mainly to Crouch's head.

    You're kidding yourself...what has the Gunners quietly achieved lately? Man U & Chelsea have left Arsenal in their wake the last few years.

    Once the Arabs get Bored with owning EPL clubs, as to them they are no more than a tax dodge. Arsenal will still be a major club owned by its Members.

    I am very happy with that. Venge does a mighty job with a smaller Budget.

    Yes own goals really suck! Arsene is a cool customer, i'm sure he felt like kicking more than just a bottle.

    We do hate each other don't forget!! EPL season is sooo long anything can happen.

    Cool customer? He lost the plot.

    Temper tantrum at the very least after seeing one of his forwards being called off-side. (He was off-side by a country mile).

    Yes anything can happen in a EPL season. First points go to Man U. ;)

    Luka Modric - broken leg. Spurs season is over.

    Well, it hasn't been a good start to the campaign for my reds, but as soon as Aquilani starts playing, we'll smash it up. We just need to get there with nothing but wins from now. Hopeless start. We were lucky to beat Bolton, Benitez needs to pull his finger out (he's a [censored] manager IMO) and get them playing the score at all costs style we played towards the end of last season. If we begin playing that, there's no one that can match us. Chelsea are pretenders, Man Utd nothing without Ronaldo (and Vidic) and Arsenal couldn't get close, with their lack of depth. Still that is a worry for us, with limited transfer funds. El Nino has scored 3 from 4 games, but at the same time looks out of form and perhaps match fitness. Just imagine once he's properly fit. He's the best striker in the world and he'll rip any EPL defense apart. Go the Reds!

    Go the Reds. ;) Although, I'll agree Lucas is a hack. He has absolutely no passing range, he's not strong on the ball and doesn't even possess a powerful strike. As soon as Aquilani is fit, he'll be benched.

    I thought Benitez did a solid job last year, just too many draws for the reds.

    Nah, he's too conservative. It was his style that lost us last year. If we'd played the way we did for the last 5 to 10 matches (score at all costs), for the entire season, instead of sitting back too much, then we would have won the title. Our back four is too injury prone as well, to basing relying on them to keep clean sheets and our forwards just return one or two goals. The best form of defence is attack. Attack, attack, attack. If we do so, we'll beat anyone in the world. We've proved that over the past few seasons.

    Encouraged French player Gael Kakuta to break his contract n sign 4 club

    Yes but others are guilty of the same bribes to poor families. It will be reduced and Man U are FIFA's next target. FIFA ARE Bastards!!

    We have the depth and quality, and in the interim, all on loan players will now be recalled to Cobham training ground as an interim measure.

    There is no crisis here - just plain saling to silverware and yes I'm as arrogant as my club.

    No doubt we (Chelsea) will be going all out to fight the ban, and hopefully we can possibly get the ban reduced to at least one transfer window. But whatever happens, I just hope FIFA investigate other clubs and stick a similar ban on them as well because there is without a doubt other clubs doing the same thing.

    I think we can cope with the squad we have. We have some good, quality depth in the squad, although an aging squad. This could also be a blessing in disguise and give some of our youngsters a chance to break into the first team as well, such as players like Kakuta, Di Santo, Sinclair, Mancienne and Hutchinson.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
